How do you recommend siting this rose? One person suggests a fence, but that isn't an option for me. Any other suggestions?

I have 'Red Blush', which so far, 2nd year, hasn't grown much at all. You could try it in a pot and see how fast it wants to grow. 'Hamburger Phoenix' also takes 3-4 years to become a climber, before that it was a spreading floribunda. I have not found 'Maiden's Blush' to be a fast grower either, nothing like the semiplena sport family which take off running.

'Morning Blush' grew into a very large shrub resp. climber in our garden. I think it would dislocate the fence. See photos

My new plant of "Morning Blush" has just opened; the flowers look like the ones pictured here on the site, but it is quite thorny. Possibly the description here on HMF is incorrect?

'Hamburger Phoenix' one of the parents, has large and plentiful thorns. I have torn quite a few shirts on them.

I got mine about 6 years ago at a shovel pruning sale. It is spectacular for about a month in the spring. The flowers are lovely and cover the bush. I plan to move it to a 6 foot fence, as it grows like a huge thorny octopus. I live in the Desert Southwest and have had no trouble with disease. Highly recommend it if you have a large space for it. (in warm climates) It is very thorny so am putting it on a perimeter fence,

In the description it says "almost thornless". You might want to check if you got the right plant.

I got this rose this year from Home Depot. I am also enjoying a glorious first flush. These are some of the most beautiful and distinctive rose blooms I have ever seen. However, in my yard, zone 5a, cold and damp, the foliage looks wimpy. This might be, like some of the early Austins, a bush whose foliage is too scanty to support the amount of bloom. I am sure some fertilizing will be in order so soon as the first flush is over, and maybe some careful disbudding as well in future flushes.
